₨ 1,500
The Deep-Sea Legend: Premium Long-tail Tuna (Dhawan) Experience the gold standard of oceanic seafood with our wild-caught Long-tail Tuna, locally known as Dhawan. Unlike common varieties, Dhawan is prized for its incredibly lean, ruby-red flesh and a firm, steak-like texture that remains succulent even after high-heat cooking. Sourced from the deep currents of the Arabian Sea, it is the ultimate choice for health-conscious foodies and professional chefs alike.
Essential Ordering Note:
- Minimum Order: Available starting at a 1kg minimum.
- Price Policy: Pricing is strictly based on the gross weight (whole fish) before any processing.
- Yield Expectation: The final weight delivered will be lower than the gross weight, depending on your selected cut (e.g., Boneless Fingers), as all waste and non-edible parts are professionally removed.
- Cooking Tip: Dhawan is a "meaty" fish; avoid overcooking to preserve its natural juices and tender flake.
A MASTERPIECE OF TASTE & TEXTURE The Long-tail Tuna, or Dhawan, is widely considered one of the finest tuna species in our coastal waters. It is easily identified by its streamlined, metallic-blue body and iconic pale spots. For those who demand a "beef-steak" experience from the sea, Dhawan is the answer. It is virtually bone-free once filleted, offering a clean, high-protein meal with a sophisticated, umami-rich flavor.
Why Dhawan is a Top-Tier Choice:
- The "Steak" Factor: The meat is dense and firm, making it the premier choice for thick-cut tuna steaks or medallions.
- Premium Color: Features a deep, appetizing color that lightens slightly when cooked, remaining visually stunning on the plate.
- Heart Health: Naturally packed with high-potency Omega-3s and Vitamin B12, supporting energy levels and cardiovascular wellness.
Professional Preparation Advice: Dhawan is built for high heat. It is spectacular when pan-seared to a perfect medium-rare or grilled over charcoal for a smoky finish. If you prefer traditional styles, our Slices are ideal for a deep masala fry, while the Boneless Biscuits are perfect for gourmet pasta dishes or high-end seafood stews.
